Fresh thinkers.
Interdisciplinary skills.
Experienced doers.

We are a team of strategic thinkers who analyze in context. Out in the field, we often see things others miss. This enables us to develop and implement truly unique concepts. We have plenty of drive, we use cutting-edge equipment, and we have a track record of being both highly creative and efficient.

About us

Tribecraft is an interdisciplinary team of experts that develops strategies, products, and services for clients. Launched in 1999 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, Tribecraft’s innovation lab now engineers next-generation solutions for a wide range of industries.

So you want to start a project.

Are we the right partner for you?

Drop by: We can discuss your proposal in depth in the innovation lab and show you some case studies of how we get things off the ground.

Are you ready for something new?

Starting a project

After an initial meeting, we will work up a project outline and/or a quote. You will always have the same contact persons, who will run the project in manageable stages that can be properly budgeted. Project progress will be discussed at interim meetings and results presented in reviews or milestone meetings, where the next tranches of work will be defined as required.

Confidentiality

At Tribecraft, confidentiality and discretion are a given, from the very first contact and for every project. If you would like us to sign a non-disclosure agreement, please send us a draft in advance. We share data with clients using our own protected servers.

Patents

Our work often results in patents and other property rights. We generally cede all rights to the client and can provide help with IP research and patent-filing.

Awards

Our work regularly wins innovation or design prizes; this may be of greater or lesser interest to clients, depending on their business segment and positioning, but we are happy to help with selection, preparation and submission of entries.

Structures and measures

Innovation is a demanding business that presents both internal and external challenges. Are your departments ready to bring a brand new product to market? Are you willing to adapt your in-house structures? Even the best innovations stand little chance of success if the ground is not properly prepared within a company.

Working with us

Job vacancies

We do not currently have any vacancies.

Internships

We offer internships lasting a minimum of three months to engineering and design students who have started their fourth semester, but have not yet graduated. If you are interested, please send your electronic application to Daniel Irányi for design, to Jörg Evertz for engineering. A knowledge of German is expected.
